[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 3/6] hw/arm/boot: load device tree to base of DRAM if no -kernel option was passed

[Ard Biesheuvel <ard.biesheuvel@linaro.org>]

If we are running the 'virt' machine, we may have a device tree blob but no
kernel to supply it to if no -kernel option was passed. In that case, copy it
to the base of RAM where it can be picked up by a bootloader.
